Question

solve for x

−6>−30−4x

Answer 1

Isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, add 30 to both sides

-6 (+30) > - 30 (+30) - 4x

24 > -4x

Isolate the x. Divide -4 from both sides. Note that when dividing a negative, you must flip the sign.

24/-4 > -4x/-4

24/-4 > x

-6 < x

-6 < x is your answer

hope this helps

Answer 2

Hey there!!

Remember :- While solving inequalities, if you divide a negative number of both signs, we will have to switch the sign.

Given Question:

-6 > -30 - 4x

Add 30 on both sides

24 > -4x

Divide by -4 on both sides

Switch the > sign to < , as we are dividing the equation by a negative number.

-6 < x

x > -6 is the answer

Hope it helps!
